“I don’t need to see a billboard up with the identify of a person who’s throwing chairs off of balconies and who is pronouncing racial slurs,” Council member Delishia Porterfield mentioned, in line with The Tennessean newspaper, referring to Wallen’s previous indiscretions. (Wallen made headlines in 2021 after a video of him saying the N-word surfaced on-line. He has since apologized.)
A second council member, Jordan Huffman, said that Wallen “offers all of us a nasty title,” all the way through Tuesday’s meeting. “His comments are hateful; his actions are damaging.”
Wallen has no longer spoken publicly about the council’s choice.
